Warm Up

Students think, pair, share their observations of a video of the KKK marching down Pennsylvannia Avenue in Washington, D.C., a poster that asks whites to no longer buy Ford cars and trucks, photographs of the March on Washington, lunch counter sit-ins, and the riots in D.C. Students are reminded to frame their observations with Who, What, When, Where, Why.

New Material

So let's take a look at the images we've seen so far and decide whether these protests are violent or nonviolent. Why do you think it's important for us to distinguish between a violent protest and a nonviolent protest?

Take a few moments to turn and talk with your tablemates.

Practice

With the help of the photographs and videos, students are asked to complete a graphic organizer that allows them to contextualize. They create a schedule for different people who would have attended a protest to enable them to understand that various people protest and to understand that they each have a specific strategy to employ.
